I love coming here!!! I'm so glad they came!! I've come here a few times and I must say every time everything's been nothing short of amazing!
When we came for my sisters birthday they staff was nice and friendly and accommodated us at the last minute :) I appreciate them for this!
Everything I've ordered I've enjoyed. HUSH PUPPIES!!!! My absolute favorite...but that corn on the cob!! Omg omg!! Especially when it's rolled and marinated in the seasonings they bring the food out in- so good!
The crab legs and shrimp option with the Cajun seasoning and medium spice level is my fav. So delicious!
It also comes with a sausage that I typically substitute out for more corn...and also potatoes!
The mozzarella sticks were tasty as well as fries and wings...
We were all happy with our orders and the prices were reasonable too!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it lol! I just may have to return this weekend! -

Pros: nice fun environment for families. Good prices. A lot of food. Good customer service. Good drinks. Shrimp and crab was amazing
Cons: over season food, corn is undercooked in the bag, sausage was nasty, crawfish had no taste and just didn't seem right, our waitress was not the best ...other ones were better. -

I really enjoyed my experience here. I like the vibe and flavors better than similar establishments and the price point was great.
I went back for a second go a couple of weekends ago, but they were closed due to an issue with cooking machines. I'm not sure if they're back yet. Them closing down would suck. -

I love seafood and was interested once this place opened up. So far, we've been here about five times and it grows on me more and more. We've tried the crab legs, shrimp (both fried and steamed), onion rings, wings, fried oysters and fries. We like everything here other than the fried wings, it doesn't really have any flavorful to it, just bland.
The prices are better than the prices at Chasin Tails. Although I do like Chasin Tails better, Sea Boil is closer and its still pretty good. The atmosphere is relaxed with reggae music playing the background.
It was a much needed addition to the neighborhood. -

My husband and I did not enjoy this place at all. The food was bland and cheap. The seasoning was so strange. It was like eating dirt with no flavor.
The alcohol was watered down with probably rice wine. I ordered the exact same drink the night before at another restaurant (makers neat) and it was real alcohol. Sea Boil's alcohol was cheap and fraudulent.
Also, and most important, the flies... oh the flies!! Flies swarming around the entire time we were eating.. 5-10 at a time just all over your face and food and drinks... we were swatting all night. The manager told us it's because they have to leave the door open because the patrons in the patio have been known to dine and dash! So we all have to suffer with flies... please see the photo of the fly that flew right into my watered down makers and ginger ale... it's bad when the flies are so happy they dive into your drink.
My husband and I went home feeling so violated and gross after that nasty experience. Our stomachs hurt all night. And we woke up smelling like the nasty seasoning.. it was all over our body and coming out our pores... we had to shower to get Sea Boil off of us.
Oh and just FYI: they do not have real plates.. when you ask for a plate they come out with thin dollar tree paper plates.
